Farm Bill Food Fight

[Wyrd of Gawd]

I'm viewing next year on my farm with some concern.  Losing the property tax deduction on the income tax return is a 'hit' and the possibility of my health insurance outlays going up to around $40,000 next year is going to be a huge problem, especially in regards to the administration pissing off China and their retaliatory cut in purchasing American soy, thus lowering the prices I get for selling it.

I don't have a 'firm' number on how much my health insurance is going up next year, but the Iowa legislature changed some laws making it easier for 'healthy' people to opt for non ACA compliant health insurance.  When you hear Obamacare criticized for being susceptible to a 'death spiral' in regards to premiums, it is very real and vivid concern for me.  I'm having some pricey health issues and I have ab ACA policy that is rapidly turning into a financial nightmare and I'm not sure what the alternative is.  Those now legal, cheaper alternatives to ACA in Iowa are unavailable to me since I have an existing condition.
